PeaceShell 5" Unlined Shorts

Satisfy was founded in Paris in 2015 by Brice Partouche — a French designer whose previous label April77 put denim on the map in the mid-2000s, and who came to running through an altered-state effort at Bois de Vincennes in June 2014. Built dual between Paris and Los Angeles, Satisfy rejects the metrics-and-optimization dialect of mainstream running in favour of what it calls unlocking the High: every fabric, every cut, every graphic engineered to get nothing between the runner and the altered state. Possessed Magazine, a Running Cult Member customer base, art-school cotton treatments and technical fabrics named like ritual tools. No rules. No judgement on speed or distance. Chase the High.

PeaceShell™ is the fabric Satisfy reaches for when wind and water are coming but a full shell is overkill. A 4-way-stretch recycled micro-twill from Japan (or a 2-way woven from France), DWR finish repelling water and dirt, fast-drying on principle. The River Shirt packs ice in its back pockets for mid-race cooling. The Unlined 5" Shorts run clean against skin. The caps are 28g and designed to disappear on your head over long efforts. The men's PeaceShell™ 5" Unlined Shorts are commando-cut — soft-shell woven nylon, DWR finish, nothing between the runner and the shell. Lived in on long Sunday distance and urban summer loops.
